Registration is now open for the Annual Cream Puff 5K, the sweetest run of the year, which will take place on Wednesday, July 15 at Wisconsin State Fair Park. Get sweet benefits like an admission ticket to the 2026 Wisconsin State Fair, a cool T-shirt, and more!

Special “early bird” pricing is available now at Cream Puff 5K (runsignup.com).

Families, friends and co-workers can form teams and take advantage of a “Baker’s Dozen Special.” When 13 or more adults register using the same team/group name, all team members will receive a discount. Team T-shirts will include the company, family, or other special name on the back of the shirt.

Since 2016, thousands of runners and walkers have enjoyed an evening at the Fair Park during the month prior to the beloved Fair. The 5K run features a course that includes the famous Milwaukee Mile as well as streets within State Fair Park that look completely different before State Fair vendors and attractions move in. The event is both kid-and stroller-friendly, offering a 1K walk in addition to the 5K route. Both routes end in front of the world-famous Dairy Building with Original Cream Puffs for all participants.
